ALERT 1 BACK TO NORMAL (so they say!)
The golden rules under alert level 1 are If you are sick, stay home; If you have cold or flu-like symptoms get tested, wash your hands, sneeze and cough into your elbow and regularly disinfect shared surfaces.
Keep track of where you've been and who you've seen so we can use that for contact tracing if needed (If not attending club, training or with a group please sign the book in the foyer) Stay vigilant. The lower alert level means that community sport can restart without physical distancing requirements. However, physical distancing is still "encouraged" at level one. The government encourages people to use "contact diaries", in case of another outbreak.
